Can you solve this problem?
Good luck! 👍🧠

If you AREN'T going to try to solve the problem on your own and want some hints, read on.
One of the apples has a caterpillar. One of the 6 leaves (not 5, 6) also has a hidden caterpillar. Look closely at the top leaf. You'll see it. And don't forget dear Aunt Sally.

Oh I see it...
@TarunCosmo I wonder what dear Aunt Sally did wrong 🤔

Ok - i see - thats a bit tricky then... it is 28

Leaves = 5
Caterpillar = 3
Apple = 9
Apple with caterpillar coming out of it = 12
12+5*3 = 27
Or the caterpillar finished the apple by the time we all get this answered and then the answer is 18. 3+5*3.
I'm going to tell you the same thing the person who gave me the problem told me, "Look closer."
Lol - ok, nasty one. You really have to look carefully.
It is 30.

That's it, I'm just going to leaf...
Dirty Dirty dirty....
hahaha that was cute 😂 🌿
Leaves = 5 each
Caterpillar = 3 each
3 Apples + 1 Caterpillar = 30, therefore Apples = 9 and Apple with Caterpillar = 12
Apple with Caterpiller plus six leaves plus Caterpillar = 12 + 6 + 3 = 21
Incorrect
Hm... :-)
If i assume Leafs is 5 but the last one has 6 Leafs x3 = 18 / The caterpillars look similar so 3.
I assume the Apples as 9 + 1 cp = 12
Point before Line would be 12+18 then.

What's your answer? :)
Care to show your math?
Technically this problem isn't solvable.
The 2 apples + apple with caterpillar isn't a solveable equation as we don't know the value of either apple or apple with caterpillar.
The last equation introduces another variable with the stick with 6 leaves instead of 5.
I hate images like these, because they are intentionally designed to get people to find the wrong answer by being intentionally misleading.

I already said 30 and you said wrong.
You could say it can´t be solved because the 6 leaf is not given. I only guess the 5 leafs means 5 and so 6 leafs mean 6.
And you could argue with the cp on the apple.
If the cp on the apple looks different i can´t see that on the pic.
Strange one indeed :-)
I editted my post, because I can't delete it for some reason.
45Look a little closer :) You can do it.
Incorrect.
Leaves + Leaves + Leaves = 15
So 15 divided by 3 values is equal to 5. So Leaves = 5.
Caterpillar + Caterpillar + Caterpillar = 9
So 9 divided by 3 values is equal to 3. So Caterpillar = 3.
Apple + Apple with Caterpillar + Apple = 30
Now this is where things get tricky.
Within this, Apple with Caterpillar will always be an even value, since it cannot be a physical odd value, this is because there are two Apples which will always add up, rather even or odd, to an even value. The possible range for Apple with Caterpillar is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28. The possible range for Apple is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
So for Apple with Caterpillar + Leaves * Caterpillar to work, we would need to setup something a lot easier to manage, keep in mind, since there isnt really a direct answer to the question due to their being multiple ways of trying to solve, it can only be expressed without a real answer, using a variable in it's place.
X + (5 * 3) = Y or X + 15 = Y (Since the Order of Operations allows use to simplify it.)
{X = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28}
{Y = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43}
The question is designed to look a lot easier than it really is, it still is really easy, just requires a tiny bit more effort put into it. It is basically a simple input/output function at it's core (but since I hate expressing things as f(x), I prefer to use X and Y since things are a lot easier for me to keep track of).
5 leaves+5 leaves+5 leaves=15
Leaf=1 (L)
Caterpillar+caterpillar+caterpillar=9
Caterpillar=3 (C)
30-9=27
27/3=9
Apple=9
Apple+Caterpillar=12 (AC)
1AC+(6L+1C)*1C
12+(6+3)*3
12+9*3
12+27
39
I think so anyway
Look a little more closely.
Why isn't the answer 27?
You would multiply the leaves and the caterpillar first, 5 x 3 is 15, the apple with a caterpillar is 12, so that makes 27 no?
Look closely at the leaf in the problem. There are two things that make it distinct. Look closely.
OK... but this is a little...
39 is correct but to see the cp on the dark green leaf is kinda... uff :-)
haha I felt the same way when I finally saw it
I'm not a failure, I got this equation right!
Also, since I can't make any threads, I'll forward my issue here, hope you don't mind:
My notifications are broken, they just don't pop up. My last notification was at 5:56 PM. It's 22:25 PM right now
I blame the resolution 😡
Same! I don't get any notifications! I'm just hitting refresh and seeing there are new comments. I didn't want to leave people who were trying to solve it hanging.
Nice one :-)
You got it!! :)
I've been using Recent Disscussion to look for new comments and see if someone mentioned me
hahaha I was annoyed too 😂 The guy who gave me the problem kept saying, "Look closely!"
Math is hard
lmao 😂😂😂😂
Im going to lose my mind I swear, the image is way too low res to see that.
